Sustainable Tourism Principles Gwynedd and Eryri 2035

Vision:

“A Visitor Economy for the benefit and wellbeing of the People, Environment, Language and Culture of Gwynedd and Eryri”

The tourism field has been receiving attention from the Council as part of the Gwynedd Plan priorities. 
Several discussions have taken place to develop new Visitor Economy Principles for the county and the Snowdonia National Park Authority for the next 15 years.

In looking to draw up our principles for the future, consideration was given to the definition of sustainable or responsible tourism by the United Nations' World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO)

"Tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities".

The plan was launched in September 2023.

Noted below are links to the main pieces of work that have been considered to date.
